Testing-guided treatment for stubborn stomach H. pylori
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using lab testing to guide antibiotic choice works better than using a standard (empirical) treatment plan for stubborn H. pylori infection. You might benefit if past treatments have not cleared the infection after multiple attempts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 20 or older
- Have a stomach H. pylori infection that did not go away after at least two different eradication treatments
- Be considered to have “refractory” (hard-to-cure) H. pylori based on prior treatment failure

This study compares two ways to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection that didn’t go away with prior therapy. One approach uses test results to guide which medicines to use, and the other uses standard (“empiric”) treatment. The goal is to see which works better and more safely as a rescue plan.
This study is testing whether giving H. pylori treatment based on the specific bacteria found in your stomach works better than the standard one-size-fits-all approach. If you are already getting an endoscopy with a biopsy, this trial could help find the most effective medication for your infection.
This study tests a new way to choose antibiotics for H. pylori infection when the usual treatment has failed. By looking at your stool sample, doctors can pick the medicine most likely to work for you.
This trial tests a simpler two-drug treatment for H. pylori infection, chosen based on a stool test that checks if the bacteria are resistant to clarithromycin. It may help people who have not been treated before avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This trial tests whether getting rid of an H. pylori infection in your stomach can help reduce symptoms like pain, bloating, or nausea. If you have this infection and stomach or gut issues, this treatment might make you feel better.
This study compares two different antibiotic combinations (metronidazole vs. tinidazole, both with bismuth and other medicines) to see which works better at getting rid of H. pylori, a bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. If you have H. pylori and haven't been treated before, you may be able to help us find the best option.
